INO JOB FOR CORONER MERELY DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AMONG ITALIANS. Stolid Americans Naturally Felt a Little Alarm at the Heated Discussion, But It Was Nothing to Excited, Volatile Latins. "There Is something most refreshing to the colder northern races in the ex citable and volatile Latins,’’ said George Hamlin recently. "We had a delightful exhibition of this quality when we first reached Milan. We entered a case, celebrated as much for the artists who frequent it as for its excellent cuisine, and had barely given cur order when our attention was attracted to a nearby table where two diners were engaged in what was evidently a very serious discussion. At that time our linguistic accomplishments were limited to Mark Twaih’s famous ’Quanta costa? —Troppo caro,’ with an additional phrase or two thrown in, all of which were inadequate to unravel any clue to the earnest conversation opposite. "Presently the voices grew louder and more passionate, and the two mqu looked positively violent as they half rose from their seats and glared at each other ferociously across the table. We became decidedly uneasy. Vendettas, stillettos and such Italian appurtenances are all picturesqque enough in grand opera, but we did not care to have our dinner punctuated wtth deeds of carnage. "In the meantime all the other diners had stopped eating and were gazing with Interest toward the scene of altercation. Gradually they abandoned their dinners altogether and came over, to take sides with the disputants. Even the waiters forsook their posts, and attached themselves to one side or the other. ‘Surely,’ we thought anxiously, ’this quarrel must involve the honor of the whole nation.' "By this time the din was fearful. A •core or more of excited men were shouting at each other across the small table, brandishing furious fists tn each other's faces, and looking like bloodshed anj) murder. Our soup cooled untasted before ue; all appetite had vanished. We clung to our chairs, too terror-stricken to flee for our lives, even though we felt a desperate conviction that a massacre was at hand and our minutes were numbered. "Finally, one of the crowd pyunded on the table vigorously and yelled some noises which sounded like a pack of firecrackers expuding There was an instant's silence, and then the whole lot of them, waiters and all, bolted out the front door. "We breathed an immeasurable relief! At least the scene of slaughter was transferred and our skins were safe. Just then our waiter reluctantly returned, though he made it plain that his duty to us was a decided bore. “ ’Was it a feud? —a vendetta?’ we | asked —’and can’t the police stop them ; before they kill each other?" "And the waiter replied in his own ' peculiar brand of English: 'll be onI lee that they not agree which be the i shortcut road to La Scala, and so half they go one way, and half they go the other, to make It prove!'** A Real Drought. If you don’t like it in the I'nited States this summer go to Aden. Ed Howe baa lately been there, and the following are some of the pleasant things he says of the place: "At nine o'clock this evening we came to Aden, in Arabia, said to be the hottest town in tho world. Every drop of water used there is condensed from the sea. : though there ia a white population of 2,000, including English soldiers, and an Arab population of 40.000. There is a tradition that rain fell at Aden three years ago, and that every roof in town leaked; but previous to that • time no rain had fallen in the town ! or its vicinity for many years; many of its elderly citizens had never seen a rainstorm, and looked with wonder upon the one which fell three year* ago A gentleman who lives at Aden saya he pays 720 a month tor water. 1 which is delivered at his door in tanks • draws by crmels Home of the nu- j ' merous shops In Aden sell bottled wa : i ter. and the price in quantity Is usu i I *4l> a uuiiui per hundred gallon* j Many years ago great tanks were built at Aden to ouch the precious rainfall, i but 'heae have not been in use for I many years, although tourists osua’iy I visit thetn”—Nebraska Stat* Journal I Breeding Tailless Cogs. Philippe de Vilmorln has Just com pleted acme old experiments to as-| certain the Influence of heredity on | tailless dogs. There are several dlf-' ferent breeds that have no tails, an I these are fairly common in some parts of France and Germany. Tn an effort to ascertain if absence 1 of tall Is hereditary in dogs, he brought • about twenty sevsn crosses between dogs of different brtsda. He report* .to the Academle de* Sciences that when tnfHess Is bred with tallies*, the result ts 75 tailless and 25 with tails, i This Is exactly in accord with the i foimola of Mendel, absence of tall being in such dogs dominant to posse* sion of tall. Os the 75 tallies* dogs ' 25 are pure bred, and tbe other 60 I unite tbe two characters. The 25 pure ; win bear pure tailless progeny: tho 60 mixed will bear la tb« •emo proportion. 25 pure tailless. So mixed. 25 with MM. Breeds that normally possess tails are nure and will always have pup , plea with tails. He makes no rspor* on the effect of - breeding tailed with Uiiiaaa.
